The Jealousies of Two Milliopaires.
Derelnnd Letter.

Clereland Letter.
Speaking of the jealousies of rich men, there are
two Stanard Oil milionaircs in Cleveland who
strive to outdo each other. These are Sam An
drsws and John Rockefeller. They both started
together but Rockefeller is the richer and ho beats
Andrews more than half the time. First Rocka-
Teller built new house and Andrews put up
bigger one. Rockefeller bought a country seat
Andrews bought another. Rockefeller became
president of the Standard Oil Company and An
drews grew jealous of his authority. He called
one day at the offices of the company in Cleveland
and told Rockefeller that he wanted to look at the
books Rockefeller put him off and told him to
call again. He did call and was handed state
ment which Rockefeller had caused to be made
out for him. He grunted as he looked at it and
said: "This is not what I wanted, Mr.. Rocka-
Teller. I am stockholder of the Standard Oil
Company and want to see its books. If I can't
see them the sooner sell my stock the better"
-afalHh6 Sth0GgKt minute and then said: "You
can have it for just ST 100000 cash."
I don't suppose he had any idea that Rockefeller
would accept it, and he probably overstated the
value of his stock. But Rockefeller is not q man
to be bluffed He took down his check book, wrote
out check for $1,000,000, signed it and handed
it to Andrews, saying: at is SALE" Andrews
too proud not to accept the check, and he had,
30 one of his friends who told me the above story,
great trouble in reinvesting his money.

Bill Arp's Portiere.

] had rather work on a hot day
than play cards or base ball or read
a sensational novel. It is fortunate
for me that Hove work, for Tllalways
have a plenty OF it to do as long as
Mrs. Arp lives and her children are
nearly as bad. Right now they are
waiting for me to make some octagon
steps to put their flowers on, and if
there is any more troubles some Job
don't know it.
It takes mathematics and science
and lots OF work to make these hexa-
gons and octagons. They saw one
somewhere and so I've got to fix it.
/ ordered a single door from the par
lor to the new dining-room, and while
I was gone they juggled with the car
penter and made him put large double
doors with whinnadeddles all around
and a fine mortised lock with gilded
knobs, and OF course l surrendered.
The carpenter found out the very first
day who was running this domestic
machinery, and he acted according.
Not long after these double doors
were finished there was small, long
box come from New York by express.
If quilting frames had not been abol-
ished Iwould have thought they were
in the box, and so when it was sent
up with the charges all prepaid was
told that it was "portiere' land
had cost me nothing but was pres
ent from one OF the boys. I stood off
at a respectful distance ana watched
them open it for I had never seen a
portiere and had some dignifed curl
osity. 1t proved to be some contrap-
tions for that double door, and after
they had it all fixed up and suspended
to the long rod with silver hooks and
parted in the middle with silver
chains, it did look mighty pretty.
They said it was made Of shekneel or
some such material and was all the
style now. I notice that when we
have company to dine or take tea,
and the company is on the piazza,
they are taken through the portlere
every time, though it's nearer through
the hall. When The big doors are open
and the portiere drawn gracefully
aside they say it presents a beauti-
ful vista to look clear through the
dining-room window They alluded
to the vista several times, but have
been unable to find it. An old dilapi-
dated Kitchen that we don't use is the
sight from that window, and that is
all the vista see. Women have an
eye for the beautiful, and I reverence
their taste, but sometimes it takes me
a week to discover the aesthetic and
fall into raptures over it.-Blll Arp in
Atlanta Constitution.

A Diamond Woman.
From, the JewelrysNews.


The eostliest necklace of diamonds
ever owned in this country was worn
by Mrs. Mary Jane Morgan. She had
a real passion for diamonds and wore
them in hairpins, brooches, bracelets
and rings as well, but her special pet
was a necklace, riviere of diamonds,
which cost her originally perhaps $780,
900, and to which she had various
additions until It's total value was
100000. One day she astonished a.
clerk at Tiffany's by buying { iamond
for S4S,OOO, and ordered it tobe set
in her riviere as the centre stone:
Diamonds that once glistened in her
brooches, hairpins or bracelets were
transfered to this necklace, and dia-.
.monds that no longer pleased her in
the necklace were reset in the brooches,
hairpins Or bracelets. To her it was
a perpetual pleasure to see. the mag
nificent necklace increasing. its mag
nihcence. When she died the largest,
OF the stones were sold singly, but the
necklace without them was so valu.
able that Messrs Tiffany bought it for
$50, 900. Soon afterward they
broke it up, and for many. months-it.
has ceased to exist.
